good stuff

This afternoon I'm trying to quietly work on our family website, but there's a little person who is sitting at her table next to my desk chattering away about random things blipping into her brain. For some reason she started talking about the Charter cable dude that was here for our installation oh...about 2.5 months ago? She keeps saying he needs to come fix our TV.

M: Who needs to fix our TV?

L: The Camel Guy.

M: The cable guy?

L: Yeah, the Copper Man.

M: Lauren, I'm not sure what you're referring to...

L: I'm not "ferring to" I'm talking.

Lauren's List

Last night while Lauren was eating her supper, we were discussing fall and winter. She keeps asking me why it's dark when she's eating supper these days. Daylight savings time is a fairly complex concept for a three year old to grasp...

Somehow we ended up talking about Santa coming to visit this year. I asked her what kinds of things she might like Santa to bring. After some serious thinking on Lauren's part, she developed the following list...in this order...

princess dresses
necklaces
bracelets
crowns
magic wands
an elephant...a cozy little elephant
counting bears
dolls
toy trucks
butterfly wings
a snow cup
toy umbrella
bird seed
acorns to feed the squirrels

And there you have it.
